Revierken comede uijt die Peel.
The last two areas lie in the Raam Valley, the drainage basin of the Graafsche Raam river, which flows through Grave as De Raam and eventually into the Meuse. The Peel water found its way to the Meuse via this river. An old engraving describes the Raam as "Revierken coming uijt die Peel" (Reservoirs coming from the Peel). The Langenboomse Bossen was originally a production forest, but its current management has made it a more diverse and attractive woodland. After leaving this forest area, the stage heads to the Tongelaar Estate, a diverse area with several farms and small fields, not to mention Tongelaar Castle. Within the estate, the route follows the Lage Raam. At its confluence with the Peel Canal, the river continues under the name Graafsche Raam. As mentioned in previous stages, the Raam river and the Peel Canal were part of the Peel-Raam Line. After leaving the Tongelaar Estate, the route passes through the relatively young and beautiful nature reserves of Het Langven and De Maurik. The area lies beautiful Langven, offering stunning views over the fen from the low dunes. At the end of the Peelpad, De Raam passes through Grave, and the stage continues through the historic center of the fortified town, home to numerous monuments such as the Hampoort gate and St. Elisabeth's Church. Grave's strategic location has shaped its turbulent history over the centuries. It's no wonder Grave is known as the most besieged fortified town in the Netherlands. Grave's history can also be found in the Graafs Museum, which the stage passes through.
